Roscommon Pride is bringing live music back to one of County Roscommon’s most memorable venues with its first-ever Battle of the Bands, taking place on Saturday, 8 August at Batty’s Barn in Neds Bar, Knockcroghery. Starting at 8pm, this exciting event will showcase talented musicians and bands from Roscommon and the surrounding region as they compete for the title of winning act of the night.
